For anyone wondering just *how* I got so funny, here’s an email from my dad. 😏
Email from my dad: 
Sooo, I was listening to the interview you gave to Andrew Pla on his podcast. For the life of me l can't remember when I taught you all that Power Shell stuff.
Glad you remembered it though!
Good job on that and your presentation at the Power Shell Summit!!

"I am what the kids call spicy brained." That was my icebreaker at #PSHSummit. Three talks, psake v5, Plaster v2, and I bought a domain live on stage. But the thing that really stayed with me? Every person who stopped to say thanks for talking about ADHD. Full recap:

We ended PS Summit with a hot tub boat ride on Lake Union. Ended up with perfect weather. A few beers and cold plunges later, we made it back. Headed back to the Midwest tomorrow. Safe travels everyone and see you in Orlando next year!

🚨Action (Possibly) Required: KB5074204 Update for Windows PowerShell now adds a confirmation prompt when using Invoke-WebRequest. For unattended scripts the recommendation is to add -UseBasicParsing to prevent the message and insecure code from running.
